Alpha 1 Foundation
Overview:

As the first foundation to focus on researching Alpha-1, the organization has made great contributions to the world’s understanding of the condition. The foundation’s robust resources provide those affected by Alpha-1 with information, support, and education on everything from testing to treatment options. .
The Alpha-1 Foundation also sponsors several support organizations, including in-person, virtual, and kid-centric support groups for families affected by Alpha-1. In addition, individuals and their caregivers can participate in a Peer Guide Program, where newly-diagnosed individuals will be paired with another person with a similar experience. Likewise, caregivers for those with Alpha-1 can be paired with another Alpha-1 for guidance and support. These groups, combined with the foundation’s educational resources, help those with Alpha-1 live the highest quality life possible until a cure is discovered.
